Second one of the two BADSCCANS beers I got, both bottled on 14/6/12 so just over a year old. This one doesn’t have the Galaxy dry hop. In the nose it you get the Strathmill whisky aromas, very nice they are too. Lots of citrussy & pine hop flavours coming through with caramel malt, quite sweet but not sickly and the finish is crisp and slightly bitter. Complex but very well balanced. Not a world away from the dry hopped version but I think the whisky comes through even more here and it’s very good too. Really enjoyed this.

Poured golden yellow, with a small white head. Hoppy aroma with hints of herbs, caramel, whiskey, earth, orange peel, perhaps a bit of vanilla. Bitter, piney taste in a medium body and plenty of carbonation. Alcohol is definitely there. Unusual, but a good one.

On tap @ Borefts 2012. This is a blurry golden-honey colored one with a small quickly fading off-white head. It’s a bit anonymous on the aroma at first, but I get a faint peach-fruity thing with some soft citrus nuances and hints of green grapes. Nice but subtle for this kind of beer. Nice flavors! Really fruity and different. Light astringent and mouthdrying in the finish. I also get a hint of vanilla, pepper corns and wood. An experiment that took the correct direction in my opinion. 28.09.2012

Bottle from the brewery. Pours a near clear deep amber orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a bitter pine note with swee grains and a whiskey backing. Flavor has a bit of resinous pine with a sweet grain and a musty whiskey note that grows.

Sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2012. Pours a hazy and golden beer with a white head. The aroma is malt and hops with grass, dirt and wood. The flavor follows the nose with additional alcohol. The palate is bitterness with alcoholwarmth. Overall a good beer.
